Forgive me for "bumping&quo...Your Excellency,<br /><br />Forgive me for "bumping" your post. I find your constant emphasis on the importance of "home and hearth" intriguing as it is often something which gets missed in all the debate on liturgy. <br /><br />I am used to Fr. Zuhlsdorf's "Save the liturgy, save the World" argument but really you are right that liturgical reform will accomplish little if Catholic children are not taught every day at home to live the Faith. Conversely, I would remind (and I am sure you will agree) that Christian formation at home will not be very effective if the children every Sunday participate in a liturgy that in many ways, even if ever so subtly, contradicts what they are being taught at home. The two aspects of Christian life - everyday and liturgical - are interlinked; they support each other and if one fails the other does too. This is all in accord with Sacrosanctum Concilium.<br /><br />As a newly-wed husband and soon-to-be father (Deo volente) I would be grateful to hear more of your thoughts on how to concretely, as a parent, pass on the Faith to your children. If you see this post, please spare a prayer for me; I myself will pray for you.GEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290444477287325173noreply@blogger.com
